Bloomberg terminals are acting up for some users

REUTERS/ Brendan McDermid (Reuters) - Users of Bloomberg LP's terminals are experiencing slowness, a company spokesman confirmed on Thursday after complaints about outages on the terminals started hitting Twitter shortly before noon.

Spokesman Ty Trippet said the company was working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. He did not respond to an emailed inquiry about the scope of the outages. As of October, there were 325,000 Bloomberg terminals worldwide.
